RE: Remote Username

2005-07-11 Thread Rob Dickey 
For username...

java.security.Principal principal =
HttpSession.getRequest().getUserPrincipal();

if( principal!=null ) 
{
userName = principal.getName();
}

To determine if user is in a specific role...the following call will return
true/false...

HttpSession.getRequest().isUserInRole(rolename);

Subject: Remote Username

I have a quick question and hope that someone can point me in the  
right direction.

Once I have a user do basic authentication into a realm , how can I  
reference the user name and role in the application?

I tried:

String username = req.getRemoteUser();

but all I am getting back is "null".

Thanks,
-Chris
